Central Valley recorded 255 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. The registry added 135 new providers this week and 156 new providers this year. The area includes 243 individuals and 12 organizations, signaling substantial registration activity and continued demand for behavioral health services across a broad California corridor.

ABA Credential Mix

The registry lists 4 BCBA providers and 101 RBT providers, with no providers holding both credentials. That produces a BCBA-to-RBT ratio of about 1:25, pointing to a thin supervisory base relative to the direct-care workforce. In ABA operations, BCBAs supervise RBTs, so this mix may constrain caseload capacity unless additional supervisors are working under other records or serving clients outside the registry count. Credential categories are not mutually exclusive: 55 providers have multiple taxonomies, and the broader credential data includes professionals such as LCSWs, SLPs and counselors who may also appear in other categories.

Workforce Demographics

Among reported individuals, 177 women account for 73% of the workforce, compared with 47 men at 19% and 19 nonbinary providers at 8%. Best Physical Therapy and Wellness, Inc. appears multiple times, with 2 registrations, although the data does not establish its role as an ABA employer. Sacramento leads the listed cities with 39 providers, followed by Fresno with 34, Modesto with 33, Bakersfield with 25 and Turlock with 19. Overall, the update suggests expanding regional access, but the low BCBA count highlights a potential supervisory bottleneck for ABA workforce growth.
